Emergency Approaches to Neurosurgical Conditions

Description

Patients with neurosurgical conditions are almost always referred from either primary care physicians, neurologists, internist, or a specialist in family medicine. This two-volume guide will answer commonly asked questions about neurosurgical conditions related to brain and spinal cord, in an attempt to fill in the gap and answer numerous questions that arise after a diagnosis is made, explaining the basics of neurosurgical disease spectrum and their management options.

Comprehensive Guide to Neurosurgical Conditions ( Volume I ) updates the reader on basic neuroanatomy and physiology, including general neurosurgical conditions, ideal neurosurgical and intensive care unit set up, second opinion, brain death, and organ donation in a comprehensive and concise manner.

Comprehensive Guide which is part of a book set including Emergency Approaches to Neurosurgical Conditions ( Volume II ) delves into different kinds of complex brain surgeries and focuses on the surgical aspect of neurosurgical conditions, including management of tumors, aneurysms, and pediatric conditions in chapters written by reputed neurosurgeons in their allied subspecialty.

This two-volume book set also aims to replace “excessinformation” obtained on the internet about a particular neurosurgical disease, which may be too overwhelming, not complied properly, not updated, or may be misinterpreted, misunderstood, or irrelevant for that particular disease. This concise book is intended not only for neurologists or neurosurgeons who have direct patient interaction but also for brain surgery patients and their families, medical students, paramedics, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, health planners, residents, and fellows who are already trained or in training, to get a quick glimpse of neurosurgical conditions encountered on a day-to-day basis.
